you will need to pick up a racetronics kit or some other kind of fuel pump to get the most out of it.

While you are in there might as well get some head studs put in.

Should make some good power. I would like to see what it makes compared to mine if you are using a ls6 intake.

Looks like a good combo, a few comments:

1. The TFS top end kit comes with a cam; are you buying just the heads?
2. Ditch the solid motor mounts, too much vibration and can cause tuning problems along with transmission mount problems.
3. If your installing an after market damper, use an ATI.
4. I would consider a Cloyes single roller timing set instead of the double roller.
5. You should consider milling the heads for more compression. i.e. 11:1

If your using a different cam you would be better off piecing the kit together vs. trying to sell the TFS cam later.

Concerning a crankshaft damper and the need, it depends on the condition of your stock one. Whatever you do, don't cheap out on the crankshaft damper, you will regret it later.
